Eden Knutilla is a bardic artist based in Richmond, CA. Their work is in service to the erotic, poetic desires of the unfolding, dying, decaying, plastic, playful, relational, artificial, trans, queer, trashed and dreaming worlds. Emerging through sound, scent, and slathering, their performance, sculpture, and sound work is a devotional act to the selfish generosity of ecological pro-creation. In conversation with the end of the world, they speak in mythologic and draw from new and old and yet-born apocalyptic visionings to understand and relate to the hungers of today and to story with the transition to uncertain tomorrows.

PARTICIPATION
A wire stretched taut over the hook intestine is bowed by a gay swamp monster/hunter. The instrument is full moon marked with solstice fire charcoal. It growls. Twisted in the moss fur are the coils shared between human and grizzly – a walking DNA rope. Bees cling to the straps, buzzing the way. They march together growling and buzzing and dancing and dragging to what grief and joy lay behind and ahead.

There is a cave with a skeleton of a child’s broken play gym, skin of aluminum sheet metal and hot pink fur, adorned with bead strings and bells. Inside the cave is a thick metal wire stretched end-to-end, and a performer, donning the Blaze Orange hat, with a loaded cello bow, and an electric french horn.
